Texas QB Arch Manning should know better, but it's hard to blame just him after viral moment when his whole life has been scripted
Saturday was Texas' biggest win in years, and the Longhorns certainly deserve all the praise for coming back from a 23-3 deficit in the fourth quarter to win. But within 72 hours, nobody was talking about that anymore.
ESPN sideline reporter Holly Rowe has faced sexism throughout her career, but Texas Longhorns quarterback Arch Manning's recent comments about an AI-generated video mocking her were particularly insensitive. The incident occurred during Texas' 24-23 victory over Ohio State, and quickly spread across social media. Manning downplayed the incident, joking about seeing "AI edits" of the postgame scene involving head coach Steve Sarkisian slapping Rowe.
While Manning later apologized, the incident highlights the need for more respectful behavior from professional athletes.
